Right now, the dinner is scheduled for Saturday, September 4th, at 5:30 p.m. The location will once again be Trader Vic's in the downtown Hilton hotel. If this time and date comes into conflict with a big SW-related panel or event, it could change.

I'm still working with the Trader Vic's management on the details of the dinner right now. I am going to need an accurate head count, so I will need RSVPs. (actually, I'll ask folks to add their names to a list, like last year.)

Just a heads up for everyone: Before the Mr. Star Wars at DragonCon at 10pm, there will be a panel at 8:30 called MythConceptions in the GFFA(Galaxy, Far, Far, Away) This panel is being moderated by two of our Charleston Fanforcers and they certainly can use your support. Sort of a spoiler free Prequel Speculation panel that will discuss what we think might happen, and compare it to literary works like Shakespeare and see if these "theories" fit into what they think the mythological or literary path Lucas has taken with the rest of the movie.

If you haven't read Othello, I definitely suggest doing so , lots of similiarities to the Prequels. Anyway, just wanted to help promote some of our fellow fanforcers. Saturday will definitely be a "Fan Force" night.

That big fish tank of a drink would be the Scorpion Bowl. It's supposed to be for four, but it's best shared by two or three. As for the taste... it's got citrus juices, rum, and orgeat (kind of almondy syrup).
